Queer Things About Money.

A woman who bought on old-fash
Toned bureau at secondhand stor
in Cincinnati discovered secre

in gold and old bank bills.
Money vas so scarce in certain
counties of Southwestern Texas dur
ing the earlier part OF winter that il
some instances the skins OF javelins
hogs were used as circulating medium
and 'possum skins were treouentl,
offered in liquidatoin OF grocery bills
Squire Royal, the tax-collector O
Taylor County, Pa, took out q we'll
worn overcoat to sell to an old
clothes man a few days ago, and found
$3.50 in bills rolled up in q sheet O
note-paper. The Squire is confident
that the money is his own, but he has
no recollection OF having placed it il
the pocket.
John Monroe, a young man living
with his widowed sister in the north
ern part of Georgia, was aigginga hole
for a potato bin in his cellar the 9th
err day, when his spade broke open al
earthen pot containing 81, $50 III
gold. The coin had been buried by
his sisters husband during the Wal
and subsequently forgotten.
A young farmer in Des Moines
County, Iowa, who had saved u1
5000 in bank bills, wrapped q piece o.
paper around them and stuck the
roll up the chimney in his bedroom
for safe-keeping. One cold afternoon

yard near the wood-pile. When she
went out to get it she found that box

to the banks which issued them for
redemption.
The pet cat belonging to Mrs. Lucy
Cain of Hannibal, Mo-, brought a
mouse into the parlor recently, and
with it small piece of paper money.
Mrs. Cain thought nothing about the
occurrence until one day not long ago,
when she discovered that g. roll oil
bills was missing from her bureau
drawer. Then she put two and two to-
gether and began q vigorous search oil
the premises. The missing bills were
finally unearthed in a corner OF the
cellar, where a colony OF mice had
made q nest OF them.

Spirits Around a Death Bed.

Sickles, father OF Gen. Sickles, was be-

many years been a spiritualist. His
vigorous mind and body made him
an aggressive man, and he therefore
made no secret of his experiences.

 Up to the present time the attendance at the shore has been somewhat anomalous to that of previous years. The cottages are, generally speaking, we'll filled, and persons who generally have waited until the season has we'll advanced, with a view to obtaining one cheap for the remainder of the season, find difficulty in securing any accommoda- tion whatever. The hotels, however, have their quota of guests, but the general even ing attendance falls far below that of prev1- ous years. Last year the band concerts end fireworks drew many from the heated city, but the inactivity of the present season seems to result far from pleasantly to the restaurateurs, etc., who rely entirely upon transient trade. The attempt to enliven things by the proposed lantern festival and pyrotechnic display will undoubtedly bring things into life and break up the rather mo notonous quiet of the evenings.
 Admiral Foote post, G. A. R., have de- cided to hold their picnic at the Rock Au- gust 25. The arrangement committee are A. q. Austin, H, Nicholson and Edward Wines.
 The Knights of Labor will picnic at the shore September 5. Many out of town peo- pie will help to enjoy the day. The Ameri can and Wheeler & Wilson's bands have been engaged At the shore there will be several base ball games for prizes and much will be done to make the day gala one.
 A party from out of town spent the Sab- bath down at the shore yesterday and seemed to have had quiet but pleasant day.
 F. J. Hennison, who was lately convicted of selling liquor on Sunday, has been sum- moned by Prosecuting Attorney Futile to ap pear before the commission. An attempt will be made to revoke his license.
 Miss Dutton of Grove street will shortly receive 8 number of Hartford people as guests at her cottage.
 Messrs. Hartigan and filling, of the Dia- mond cottage, will build more commodious shore house in the near future.
 Savin Rockers may now enjoy new priv ilege in the shape of hot salt water baths, at MT. Skeeles' bathing pavilion. Quite num- Der have already availed themselves of this

The move nent has never been very heartily encour- lged, but the idea has apparently never been yiven up, and the subject is again being actively discussed.
